[What The Saints Did @SaintsDidNext]

Black & White August. Day 31–St Paul’s #StHelena
Jamestown’s & St Paul’s respective city & cathedral status was bestowed by Queen Victoria in 1859 w Letters Patent. But, because the town's character had fallen into ‘disrepute’ it was decided to place the cathedral in the country.

#DYK #StHelena's unique cloud forest holds 1/6 of 🇬🇧 endemic biodiversity, and provides most of the island's freshwater? Works under the #cloudforestrestoration project fall under 3 pillars:
